Among those with displays in
the student union were PrairiErth Farm, which was selling a new
cookbook put together by Katie Bishop. During her workshop
Bishop talked about the book only briefly.

She primarily discussed how
her family uses vegetables grown on their farm year-round. She
discussed spring, summer, fall and fall-to-winter later harvest
vegetables that can be grown and used when they are freshest. She offered tips for preserving fruits and vegetables and also
talked about how she prepares some of the more unique items they
harvest.

Mac Condill was also set up in
the student union, sharing information about The Great Pumpkin Patch as well
as his garden seed company and bakery. At 11:30 the main
cafeteria filled with guests who were eager to learn about the world
of cucurbits.
